2024 has been a busy year for alt-rock duo Saint Sappho (multi-instrumentalist Zoe Young and drummer Tammy Dyson), who have built up a solid back catalogue of music this year, including the single 'Too Far Gone' back in May and more recently with 'End of the World', which has been received well by their ever growing fanbase.

And now Glasgow's finest are back with their latest single, 'M.A.D.' Released on the 30th of September, a date that marked the 1st anniversary of the passing of Tammy's Mum, the track is a heartfelt tribute to her.

'M.A.D.' is lyrically powerful; Saint Sappho asks the questions about what happens to us after this life, something we can all identify with as we struggle to understand grief and come to terms with loss.  From a musical perspective, the track reflects emotional upheaval with Saint Sappho's unique sound. 'M.A.D.' is infused with melancholy and is reassuringly nostalgic with a very comforting 90's aesthetic.

Saint Sappho has created a song that tugs on the heartstrings at the same time as putting a supportive arm around you. The track is a fitting tribute and an excellent piece of song-writing. This is definitely one to add to your collection. Find out more about Saint Sappho and keep up with their latest releases and live shows at linktr.ee/saintsappho .
